Chapter 71 Good Show
Curtis and Steffen instinctively froze.
Adeline was in a daze, so she had not heard their conversation. She forced a smile, said hello, and walked toward the dining table.
Seeing this, Curtis frowned and wheeled himself over to help her unpack the breakfast.
She violently trembled when his elbow touched her body and instantly distanced herself from him.
Curtis's frown became more profound.
Adeline knew she had overreacted, so she quickly explained, "Sorry, I didn't expect you to be behind me."
Then, she lowered her head and silently ate breakfast.
She had dreamed about what happened a year ago and felt uncomfortable. She had a splitting headache and wanted to vomit.
Seeing her pale face, Curtis gently asked, "Should I send for a doctor?"
"No, thanks. I'm full. I will go to work now."
Adeline anxiously got up, grabbed her bag, and quickly left the apartment.
As soon as the door closed, Curtis's face became extremely gloomy.
Seeing this, Steffen dared not make a sound.
Judging from her reaction just now, they both vaguely sensed something.
Sophia asked Adeline to go to her office when the latter arrived at the school.
"Get ready! You will go to West District to participate in the excellent teacher competition tomorrow."
Adeline subconsciously exclaimed, "West District? Can I refuse to go?"
Amber happened to enter Sophia's office. And she was stunned to see Adeline overact.
Sophia frowned, "Why? The competition is held in West District every year. The preliminary contest was held in East District, and you are the only teacher of our school who entered the next round. If you refuse, who will go?"
Hearing this, Adeline quickly breathed. In a trance, she heard a male voice saying, "Don't let me see you in West District again."
The icy voice wound around her like a boa constrictor, sending shivers down her spine.
Sophia shouted, "Ms. Burton!"
Adeline returned to her senses and nodded, "Okay, I see. I'll make preparations now."
